      Time has transformed The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift into a classic, and quite rightly so. This 2006 film is a spinoff introducing new characters that didn’t fully integrate into the series’ main storyline until much later. It further popularized JDM culture and drifting, both in the U.S. and globally. The vehicles from the film have become icons, but perhaps none is more notable than Han’s orange-and-black FD Mazda RX-7 sporting a VeilSide Fortune bodykit. Recently, one of the examples built for the movie was auctioned at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, fetching an astounding $1,225,568.

      According to Bonhams, this RX-7 is the genuine article. Unlike some replicas designed to endure rough treatment, such as an R34 GT-R shell with a Beetle engine, this car was commissioned from VeilSide by Universal Studios. The Fortune kit covers all exterior parts of the RX-7 except for the roof and tailgate. Additionally, it features striking 19-inch Andrew Premier Series Racing Evolution 5 wheels finished in polished aluminum.

      Subsequently, the coupe was given to tuner RE Amemiya, who put the same level of care into its engine. Han’s vehicle also received a Blitz exhaust, along with a new clutch, brakes, and coilover suspension. The entire setup is reported to weigh around 2,315 pounds and is tuned to stock specifications. This indicates an “official” output of 276 horsepower, but it’s widely known that these cars were often underrated from the factory.

      Evidently, this RX-7 was not subjected to abuse for cinematic purposes; Bonhams states it was only used for static displays and stunt scenes, without ever being involved in drifting. In essence, it wasn’t the vehicle that executed a dramatic powerslide through Shibuya Crossing without authorization—it merely appears as if it did.

      No 2000s tuner car was complete without a heavy-bass aftermarket sound system, and this RX-7 includes an Alpine setup with “twin amplifiers and multiple speakers,” visible through the split rear window. There’s even a prop to hold the tailgate open to showcase the audio system. While we may chuckle, back in the day, an impressive sound system contributed significantly to street cred. There’s also a separate screen on the passenger side of the dashboard, though its purpose remains unclear. Perhaps it could be used to connect an Xbox 360, providing an ultimate 2006 experience.

      When modified, this RX-7 had approximately 61,000 miles on it; after filming, it accumulated another 5,000 miles. A few years post-production, a U.K. importer acquired the car. Hopefully, the new owner won’t retire it as a museum exhibit, but they should be aware that, due to the duration it has remained stationary, it would be advisable to have it checked before recreating any scenes from the film.
